The training resources can be incorporated into existing programs or serve as an orientation or annual refresher training when needed.

• Anatomy of Oil Spill Exercise and Response - Provides examples of roles and responsibilities during oil spill exercises and events and highlights the Unified Command and Incident Command System functions and how the "Planning P" is utilized during an exercise or incident.

The videos are available for download on PHMSA 's YouTube channel.
